Les Liaisons Dangereuses at The Rose Centre

Company Theatre presents this scandalous vision of a decadent Late-18th Century French aristocracy: Blissfully unaware of the Revolutionary fate soon awaiting them.

Among the glittering salons of the aristocracy, patriarchy equals power, reputation is everything – and for women, one misstep can mean ruin. Marquise de Merteuil, master in the art of survival, wields her influence with intelligence and control. Alongside the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont, they turn seduction into strategy and weaponise desire. But when their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path.

Written in 1782 by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos and adapted for the stage by Christopher Hampton in 1985, Reg Williams directs this awesome cast in our bite of this juicy apple:
